How Much Weight Can A Wood Screw

democratic repression at home

The Government urges the English children to denounce their parents if they make sexist or racist comments

The figure of the informer, the informer life, lives a golden age with the Government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. If a few months ago, the Minister Leire Pajin encouraged informers in Spain to inform on those who do not comply with the smoking ban, now urges the children to denounce the sexist remarks of his parents at home. It is demonstrated once again the sympathy and consideration must have Pajín to the informers, who has booked a leading role in its draft law on equal treatment and non-discrimination, social last flag Zapatero was left before the general election.
Informers have an article for them in this draft, 41: "Duty of partnership", has called the government. First it is stated that the Authority for Equal Treatment and Non Discrimination lend such collaboration will be required by the Parliament, the courts, the prosecutor, the Ombudsman and Public Administration. This authority is created "as an independent authority responsible for protecting and promoting equal treatment and non discrimination of persons by reason of the grounds provided "in the law.
In turn, governments and individuals must provide "the necessary assistance" to the Authority for Equal Treatment and Non Discrimination when required by the performance of their duties. Specifically, individuals, including families, have to "cooperate" when the investigating authority on its own initiative, the existence of possible cases of discrimination on grounds of birth, racial or ethnic origin, sex, religion, belief or opinion, age , disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, illness, language or any other condition or circumstance personal or social.


"Collaborate" and "blow"

The government uses the word "cooperate" as a euphemism for "blowing" or "tattle." In fact, individuals must provide on time "any kind of information and data available and may be necessary" for the investigation of the Authority. Moreover, they should "cooperate" with agility: the deadline is 10 days, unless the nature of the request or the circumstances of the case is set at a different time motivated.
regulation of betrayal between individuals do not miss any detail. Thus, the bill states that "the duty of cooperation and information "including the communication of information containing personal data to third parties without your consent when strictly necessary.
A practical example of the exercise of betrayal may be the following, related to rental housing. The law "prohibits" including "refusing an offer to buy or hire, or refuse to start negotiations or otherwise prevent or deny the purchase or rental of housing because of some of the causes of discrimination under the This law, when it has made a public offer for sale or lease. " It also prohibits "discriminating a person in the terms or conditions of the sale or rental of housing on the basis of the aforementioned causes. "
If a homeowner puts his house rent and makes a public offer for lease through an advertisement, for example, may find numerous candidates for your home. It could happen that discarded a couple of Muslims, for the reasons they were. If they feel offended and discriminated against may file a complaint. The owner, with the law in hand, will have to prove his innocence. That is, if the candidate of principle provide a proof of the existence of discrimación, the landlord must make a "justification objective and reasonable, adequately supported, the measures taken and proportionality. "
But if the Authority for Equal Treatment and Non-Discrimination and research into action, neighbors and relatives have the obligation to "cooperate" and explain, perhaps, if the homeowner is usually racist or xenophobic behavior , with data included.
